Clare Fine Gael Senator Believes No Confidence Motion In Justice Minister Would Be Soundly Defeated

Clare's Fine Gael Senator insists that Minister for Justice Helen McEntee is the best candidate to hold the position and ensure public safety. It comes as Sinn Féin is considering whether to put forward a motion of no confidence in the Minister, over what the party describes as a 'lack of foresight' and planning to prevent the Dublin riots. Since the events of Friday night, the government has allocated a further €4.4m to the Gardaí and is aiming to expedite legislation that would permit the use of facial recognition technology. Ennistymon Fine Gael Senator Martin Conway believes the opposition is simply using a major incident as a political football.
